I'm looking to buy this bike and was wondering if anyone could give me their opinions please?
I can't seem to find any reviews on the internet

    Allez is the standard by which other bikes are measured in that price range. You'll pay a bit more for it's brand name but it's decent kit. They also do the Secteur, same price range but it's slightly more upright and designed to absorb road noise and bumps a bit better. If you plan to do longer rides or commuting you might find the Secteur more suitable, I think it also has mudguard and rack mounts but I may be wrong.

  • I bought a second hand one as my first bike a couple months back.

    There's nothing about it which I can fault or complain about. It does everything I want.

    And it looks good I think, I look at it and think, Yeah - nice bike. 8)

    had mine for nearly a year, done over 2k miles and no complaints. done a couple of sportives on it too and is comfortable enough to do big (50+) rides. I will keep it now as my commuter/winter hack, and i will prob upgrade the wheels, but a great bike.

    Brilliant bike! Got mine at the start of the summer and it's coped really well. Same as above, over 2000 miles and I'd like new wheels, but the bike works well as is! Quite like the saddle on it too (though thats personal!) but its comfy enough for 70+ miles. The equivalent would be the Giant Defy but I prefer the racier geometry of the specialized.
